FINISH LINE: Agassi set to tell all Psssst. Is that really his hair?Former tennis mega-star Andre Agassi has joined the list of has-beens trying to cash in with a tell-all about the their rich and famous lives. In his upcoming autobiography, the eight-time Grand Slam champion reveals he used crystal meth periodically in 1997 and failed a drug test — a result he says was thrown out after he lied by saying he “unwittingly” took the substance. He also recounts his time with ex-wife Brooke Shields and details his jealous rage during her guest appearance on the TV series “Friends. Then there’s Agassi’s vanity. In 1990, his brother was sent running around Paris to find bobby pins to keep Agassi’s disintegrating spiked-mullet weave from coming off his head during a French Open match. “Of course I could play without my hairpiece. But after months of derision, criticism, mockery, I’m too self-conscious,” Agassi writes. “Image Is Everything? What would they say if they knew? Win or lose, they wouldn’t talk about my game. They’d only talk about my hair. I can close my eyes and almost hear it. And I know I can’t take it.” Parting Shot “Have some more hand. I’m out of here.” — Andre Agassi The former tennis star explaining in his upcoming autobiography how he stormed off the set of “Friends” after becoming jealous when ex-wife Brooke Shields had to lick actor Matt LeBlanc’s hand. |
